This Sucks

Last Friday Night I was coming home from work and French Kissed a Guard Rail... Going to Body Shop today to get the damage report... I am thinking $3000 for parts... maybe going with a body kit instead of OEM parts... I need Front Bumper, Front Fender, Driver Door, Rear Door, Rear Quarter Panel, and Read Bumper...

If you are wondering I took the curve to deep and came out to high...

What the hell? Did someone put a curse on our RA's Friday night? I did the same thing but it was a concrete retaining wall. I need the same parts plus side skirt, lower control arm and 2 wheels. I'll probably have the doors fixed since the wheels took most of the grinding... Sux since they stopped making those particular wheels about 2 years ago. Whoever is cursing our cars needs to stop it!!!!! But yeah, I started looking at body kits too. I like the style of the RRM kit but I don't want to modify the front crash bar and I think the group buy is over for Accolade otherwise I wouldn't mind one of their combos... You'd think the value of RA's would be going up not down at the rate we're crashing them Oh well. There went my safe driving premium!

Man that sucks. I'd definately look into a kit if you ever planned on getting one.

Or maybe you can get a group buy on stock parts

He probably is... but sourcing stock parts from someone who got a kit is actually not such a bad idea!

That's why insurance is higher for our car.
